N.Y.C. - Harry Connick, Jr.

He was standing on the highway Somewhere way out in the sticks Guitar across his shoulder Like a 30 ought six He was staring in my headlights When I come around the bend Climbed up on my shotgun side And told me with a grin I'm going to New York City I never really been there Just like the way it sounds I heard the girls are pretty There must be something happening there It's just too big a town He was cold and wet and hungry But he never did complain Said he'd come a thousand miles Through sleet and snow and rain He had a hundred stories About the places that he'd been He'd hang around a little while And hit the road again He's going to New York City I never really been there Just like the way it sounds He heard the girls are pretty There must be something happening there It's just too big a town See, I've been to New York City Seems like it was yesterday I was standing like a pilgrim On the Great White Way The girls were really pretty But they wouldn't talk to me I held out about a week Went back to Tennessee So, I thought I'd better warn him As he climbed out of my car Grabbed his battered suitcase And shouldered his guitar I knew I was just jealous If I didn't wish him well I slipped the kid a twenty Said 'Billy give 'em hell' He's going to New York City I never really been there Just like the way it sounds I heard the girls are pretty There must be something happening there It's just too big a town I'm going to New York City I never really been there Just like the way it sounds I heard the girls are pretty There must be something happening there It's just too big a town Gone, gone, gone to New York City Gone to New York City Gone to New York City

Charles & Eddie N.Y.C I was hanging out on Joy's front steps It was the summer of love We were in New York City Vibe was cool with the radio on I think it was Sly singing "Que Sera Sera" My mother kept saying you're wastin' your life Sittin' here watching the world go by Why don't you guys get out there and do something We did, we became brothers that night Sharing our lives over a bottle of Ide's But that was fine with me There was some kind of riot on the lower East Side Some rich man shot some homeless guy He thought he was being robbed (Chorus) You can hear him say... Can you believe this city Didn't get much sleep staying out all night Soul kitchen was hoppin' We'd sneak in the side and dance Smash was spinnin' some whack new song We was all snappin' hard on his moms But he was cool That shit was funky That shit was funky Teachers were quittin' their jobs by the ton Every kid in the school was totin' a gun And they were just too scared You can hear them say... Can you believe this city Ran into C on the E train Had a brand new copy of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man" I couldn't help thinkin' coming home that day Is it New York City or back to L.A.

(*Charlie Chaplin, John Turner, Geoffrey Parsons) Smile tho' your heart is aching, Smile Even though it's breaking, When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by, If you Smile through your fear and sorrow, Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through- For you. Light up your face with gladness, Hide ev'ry trace of sadness, Altho' a tear may be ever so near, That's the time you must keep on trying, Smile- What's the use of crying, You'll find that life is still worthwhile, If you just smile.

Someday, you'll want me like I want you But I'll be gone with somebody new Someday, you will cry the way I did You'll hang your head, but tears can't be hidden You'll walk the floor day and night Not a thing will be going right Your nerves will keep you in despair You'll be pulling out your hair Someday, love will get you down you'll see You're gonna suffer the way you've done for me You'll walk the floor day and night Not a thing will be going right Your nerves will keep you in despair Girl, you'll be pulling out your hair Someday, love will get you down you'll see You're gonna suffer the way you've done for me You're gonna suffer the way you've done for me

I know a girl Who says she loves me She says she needs me And I have reason to believe her Good reason Like when we kiss My eyes won't open My heart won't listen And I don't have a word to say No, not a word Look, my darling And you'll hear me sing "I love you" With my eyes Let me hold you Really hold you Then you'll know my heart Just can't tell lies It knows a true love It knows it's you, love And it knows that you say You love me And I say I love you, too
